    strawberry + kale + banana breakfast

    Happy Hump Day, y’all! I have had some questions about my breakfast smoothie bowl concoctions, so I have decided to share a recipe for one that I am really enjoying right now! I usually make a smoothie bowl if not every morning then pretty close to it! The kids drink theirs (thinned with a little filtered water), and I freeze leftovers in our popsicle molds for later when we go sit on the porch. I have previously posted about why I love smoothie bowls HERE. They are so easy to make, and I love how I can make it a more filling meal when I add toppings of my liking.…

    The Watermelon Crawl

Last weekend I heard about a Watermelon Festival nearby and after being couped up working all week, I convinced Derrek that we really needed to go. I’m a festival junkie…I’m really obsessed with them. I actually have the ones around us marked down in my planner so we don’t miss out on any of the fun. We’ve been to the Pecan, Strawberry, Peanut, Tobacco, Peach, Wooden Boat, and Food Truck Festivials just to name a few. Last Saturday we headed to Fair Bluff, NC and braved the heat for…

    Heavenly Oatmeal Bars

    Hey y’all! I have been dying to share this recipe that is bound to satisfy your sweet tooth, but still skips a lot of the unhealthy calories from inhaling a box of white powdered donuts (replace this with your favorite unhealthy treat, powdered donuts just happen to be my particular weakness). I make a big batch of this at the beginning of the week and keep them in a glass container in the fridge for easy access. The kids gobble them down, Derrek eats a few, and my mom (who typically doesn’t really love healthy eating) said they were delicious! They are so easy to make, and you can change…
